Playground renewals

We are updating four of our playgrounds.

Play is an integral part of childhood. The City of Subiaco values facilitating diverse and quality play experiences through our approach to playground provision and maintenance.

Four playgrounds within the City are due to be renewed in the 2023/2024 capital works program. The replacement of the play equipment will be guided by community input, available budget and the City's Playspace Strategy.

The playgrounds to be renewed:

• Hickey Avenue Park, Daglish - complete
• McCallum Avenue Park, Daglish - complete
• Park Street minipark, Subiaco - see update in News feed below
• Redfern Street (View Street) minipark, Subiaco - complete

Considerations:

• This project is budgeted for 'like for like' replacement where (in most cases) the playground footprint will remain the same.
• These four playgrounds are classified as local playgrounds where visitors are most likely to be people who live within walking or cycling distance (for more information on park hierarchy definitions, please see the project FAQs).

This project has a three part consultation process:

• Stage one - an exploration of how the playgrounds are used and the type of play children enjoy. Closed 2 October 2023.
• Stage two - assessment of design concepts for the four playgrounds and evaluation of preferences. Closed 22 January 2024.
• Stage three - assessment of design concepts and voting for the Park Street playground.

Those taking part in Stage one joined the community group consulted during Stage two and three of the playground renewal process. If you didn't take part in Stage one of this project but want to be part of the group, please contact us here.
